White House fence jumper pushed past female guard to gain entry.

An example of how political correctness could have cost the lives of the President of the United States and his family. Feel free to extrapolate the cost of political correctness to our society as a whole.

#14  Well, there are bound to be a mistake or two when you're transiting a Service composed of hard-working, hard partying, primarily male, agents with a mission of "Protect", to a Service with a composition and mission of "cultural relevancy".

#13  It seems the SS has slipped some in recent years--or since it came under DHS.

#12  Seems that a lot of alarms have been placed on mute since 2006...

#11  Pierson just resigned, and you have to wonder who the door alarm was annoying, I think its the Mother-In-Law in the residence upstairs or the wookie herself? Clearly the culture in the SS has failed since the O'Bama's and their ilk came to stay, imagine what it will be like under the Hildebeast?

#10  Damn racist perimeter alarms!

#9  The Secret Service’s response to Gonzalez’s dash from the front railing was slowed because perimeter alarms — dubbed “crash boxes” — had been muffled at the request of the White House’s ushers.

Reads like the SS is getting vetoed on issues of security. "Angella Reid is the White House Chief Usher, becoming on October 2011 the first woman and the second African American following her predecessor, Stephen W. Rochon, to serve in that post." Affirmative action at work?

#8  You should be happy that you have a president who is willing to risk his life for the sake of political correctness.

#6  Why does the head of the Secret Service still have her job?

Oh, that's right. It would be bad optics to fire the first female head of the SS.

#5  Reportedly the emergency door alarm was on mute as well. Probably annoyed day sleepers in the west wing.
